- Kanto Railway is a private railway with two lines in Ibaraki Prefecture. Despite being relatively close to Tokyo, both lines are characterized by the fact that they are not electrified, and passengers are transported by modern-style diesel cars.
The Joso Line that appears in this video is a 51km line that connects Toride Station and Shimodate Station, and the line between Toride Station and Mitsukaido Station is one of the few double-track, non-electrified lines among Japanese railways. This video includes the area from Toride to Mitsukaidō Station along the way.
The reason why the Joso Line will not be electrified is that there is a geomagnetic observatory in Ishioka City near this line, and it is explained that DC electrification may affect observation.
The Joso Line is close to Tokyo (37 km from Nippori Station in Tokyo), there are many houses along the line, and trains run frequently. Still, the view without overhead wires has a different atmosphere from the commuter lines in the city, and the scenery along the line looks more laid-back than in the city center.
This video is a rather long journey of 30 minutes, but please enjoy the leisurely scenery of southern Ibaraki Prefecture, along with the slow pace of the diesel car and the high-pitched engine sound compared to the pace. If you have a chance to travel there, please take the train.

関東鉄道常総線 取手→水海道間の前面展望です。駅停車時は映像を割愛しています。2023年11月撮影
非電化ながら、取手～水海道間の複線を使用しての頻繁運転は健在です。線路には雑草が少なく、この会社のモチベーションの高さ、風遠しの良さが表れているように感じました。この日は早朝の出発だったので（したがって光線が黄色いです）、今度はゆっくりした時間に家を出て、全線をゆっくり走破してみたいと思います。
清々しいいいお天気。あなた、運がよすぎますよ
コメントありがとうございます。朝５時に目が覚めて、天気が良いようなら出かけます。空が曇ると、途中で引き返すこともあります。暗い映像になってしまっては、その鉄道会社に申し訳ないですし、何より自分が撮っていてつまりませんから。
Your comment about the lack of electric overhead was right on. To see the scenery as clearly as in this video was really pleasing. One thing I'd like to ask about is the reddish ballast. Did they use a rock with a high iron content, or a reddish sandstone? Way back when, when steel was king in western Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio, slag from the mills was often crushed and used as railroad ballast, and the color of this ballast reminded me of that. My curiosity has been tickled by this. It's another one of your great videos.
In the case of Japanese trains, it is said that the reddish ballast is caused by splashes of rain from the brake shoes rusting them. The brake shoes are made of cast iron. However, this has changed recently. The brake shoes used on most trains are now made of resin. It is true that the ballast on recent Japanese trains does not seem to be as reddish as it used to be.
Another good video. Thanks for all of them.
It has a relaxing scenery that I like.
@@14ikesan12 I agree, especially without the catenary wires and poles.
@@tonywise198 It feels good to look at the sky on a sunny day.
Gracias pero, a la otra mejor sí deja el video completo sin cortar, yo digo.
Seguiré buscando mejores caminos poco a poco. Porque quiero que mucha gente sea feliz.
